Be it known that I, ELIZABETH COOHRANE SEAMAN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of the borough of Manhattan, city, county, andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements inMilk-Cans, of which the following' is a specication.

My invention relates to milk-cans, and has for its object to produce amilk-can having a double neck composed of a neck member projecting fromthe breast and a neck member projecting from the bowl, the said two neckmembers overlapping each other throughout their entire extent, orsubstantially throughout their entire extent, and presenting a smoothinterior surface.

In the accompanying drawingslhave shown two forms of can in which myinvention is embodied.

In Figure I, I have shown one form of can wherein the neck member of thebreast overlaps the neck member `of the bowl; and in Fig. II, I haveshown a can in which the neck member of the bowl overlaps the neckmember of the breast.

In Fig. I, a indicates the bowl of the can; b, the breast thereof, whichmay be of any suitable construction. The breast member is' provided witha neck member c, which receives a neck member d of the bowl, the neckmember c being integral with the breast and v the neck member d beingintegral with the bowl. The neck member d fits closely within the neckmember c and has its lower edge chamfered or beveled in order to liesmoothly against the inner face of the neck member of the breast and topresent no appreciable edge to form a shoulder or crevice whereimpurities could accumulate. The joint formed by the lower edge of theneck member of the bowl is smoothly wiped with solder in the usualmanner.

In the form shown in Fig. I the neck member of the breast is providedwith a flange e,

(No model.)

which laps or contacts with a portion of the bowl a.

I n the form shown in Fig.' Il the bowl a is provided with a neck memberd', and the breast b is provided with a neck member c. This neck memberc tits closely into the neck member of the bowl and has its upper edgethinned, chamfered, or beveled, so as to present no appreciable edge toform a shoulder where impurities could collect. .The neck member d isprovided with a flange e', which contacts with or engages the bowl.

This application is a division of my applica*- tion, Serial No. 45,303,filed January 30, 1901.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s V l. A milk-can having a breast member and a bowlmember, the breast member and bowl member being each formed of a singlethickness of metal and each provided with a rigid` integral neck member,said neck members overlapping throughout substantially their entireextent to form a double neck the inner neck member stopping short ofoverlapping the outer neck-member, the inner neck member having itsfreeedge chamfered or beveled in order to avoid the formation of a recessliable to hold impurities.

2. A milk-can having a breast member and a bowl member, the breastmember being formed of a single thickness of metal and provided with arigid integral neck member, the bowl member also having a neck member,said members overlapping throughout substantially their entire extent toform a double neck, the inner neck member having its free edge chamferedor beveled in order to avoid the formation of a recess liable to holdimpurities, the other neck member having a bent portion engaging theother part of lthe can.
